MacPeople Meeting:
Tuesday, January 13, 2008 6:00 - 9:00
The next meeting of the MacPeople Gainesville Area Macintosh Users Group will be on Tuesday, January 13, 2008 from 6:00-9:00 pm in the University of Florida Entomology-Nematology Bldg., room 1031 (building in the woods just east of the Performing Arts Center). Need Directions?

A distance education class will be meeting in Entomology Room 1031 on
Thursday evenings throughout the Spring semester, January-April. Rather than
change to a different room, the members voted at the November meeting to
switch the meeting day to the second Tuesday for the months that we are
excluded from using room 1031 on Thursday evening.

Here are the second Tuesday dates for the beginning of next year:
   January 13
   February 10
   March 10
   April 14

Mark these changes on your calendars now to avoid scheduling a conflict on
these dates.

Agenda
Bento 2.0 has been released. Bill Rose will give us an overview.

Following Bill we will have an extended question and answer session with light refreshments.

This Saturday will be our last meeting.

It's been a year since we launched the FileMaker Special Interest Group. Our plan was to spend that time exploring the basics and to touch on a few advanced topics. I think we've accomplished what we set out to do and would like to thank everyone who has participated and contributed to the success of the group.

The FileMaker SIG has been sponsored by the Gainesville Macintosh Users Group. I would encourage everyone to attend their regular meetings on the 2nd Thursday of every month for ongoing presentations on database and other computer topics.
